Keep frying fusible link

[green 66]

What alternator and voltage regulator did you replace it with?
1 wire or 2 wire alternator?
Round back or square back?

2 wire round

Do you have one of the terminals grounded to the case on the back of the alternator with the correct voltage regulator?

2 wire round

Thought it is a one wire now? one field?

Here is a thread that may help you. Look at what Nacho-Rt74 says and see if that helps. Also look at pics.

Maybe 2 wires shorted to each other in eng.harness?

One green wire to voltage regulator one black to the other side spliced with blue which I think goes to amp meter

take one leg off the gauge and put it on the other post with the other leg.

bypassed

But if THAT post has a bad insulator, I THINK you'd still fry the fusible link. To be safe, I'd pull both and screw them together, bypass that pesky little SOB all together and the use electrical tape or shrink wrap to insulate the connection. That was the route I took.

Update,had ammeter grounded out on case.Pulled wires of amp gauge and bolted together.Works like a champ!Thanks guys

Thank you for posting what you found. Some guys on here don’t even let you know what they find when you help them. I don’t think I helped much but I was watching. it’s frustrating a little bit when you don’t get feedback. Good job

My peeve also.
